8:03 am
american policy. some heavyweights, including former house speaker he can nancy pelosi, and now even joining the call for us to stop arms transfers to israel. and of course, protesters continue to mount what is really a growing peace movement? senator bernie sanders has been one of the loudest voices on this issue. and 82 years old, he manages to be the voice of young liberals and many others. and he warns that if biden doesn't change tack on the israel war and doesn't expand his economic policy for working families at home. he could lose in november senator sanders join me from washington. welcome back to our program. senator. so we've laid ouyo criticisms of the at, hey, what do you want him tothat he hasn't ne up until no >> christiane, we are looking right now in gaza at one of the worst humanitarian diste in
8:04 am
the modern history of the world. hundreds of thousands of people face starvation our children are dying from malnutrition 80% of the population has been displaced over half the buildings have been damaged or destroyed and israel continues to make a difficult to get the tiny aid that desperate people need >> so to my >> mind, the most important thing the united states government can do say to mr. netanyahu, you know what you cannot continue this disastrous, horrific war you cannot allow children by the thousands, the face starvation or you're not getting another nickel. now i think one of the congruencies that a lot of people in america see, is everybody has criticizing netanyahu as in the next word, oh, him us didn't you? here's a little 14 billion on top of
8:05 am
the three-and-a-half billion you've got your terrible guy, you're doing trible things. but here's your money. i think r policy has got to be very cle tanya'ght-wing extremist goment. whil hundreds of thousaof people inaza face starvation peod and said, i want to know what you think about the election coming up in this country that prident den iserunning with former president trump. do you believe given wha' happen in so of the primaries,he protest vote, that this r will hurt november? biden at the pls in >> yes, i . >> the choice is very, very clear. i think trump will be a disaster if elected for this country, a very dangerous person was undermining american democracy every day but to answer your question, i think in terms of how young people how people of color, a feel about the president. this is being negatively impacted by
8:06 am
the support for israel that he has shown. i think that's got to change and we are doing our best to try to get that to change. >> so you've mentioned president trump he is, you know, seems to be caught between his own rock and his own hard place about abortion. now, he started the backlash, having nominated very, very conservative judges who rolled back rovers does wade and now he's saying that the latest decision by the courts, which presumably are independent in arizona that go back 160 years in terms of abortion, rights are no abortion rights. he say that's mistake and we're going to straighten out. what is your comme on that christiana >> the >> difficulty we have in trying to respond to trump and i say this, it has said with all due respect, he's a pathological liar. so what he says today is not what he will say tomorrow. he will lie about virtually everything. i'll trump boasts.
8:07 am
he boasts that he appointed three right-wing supreme court justices to overturned roe v. wade he may, i >> think he is catching on to the reality that is backfiring within the general population. the american people do not want to go back 50 years, women of this country of fought to be able to control their own body, fought for women's rights, and overwhelmingly not only virtually all democrats, but many republicans are saying this is absurd to take away basic rights that women have. one >> as we all know, president biden was the first sitting president to go to a picket line, uaw his former chief of staff is saying though that instead of his campaign looking back and trying to boast or whatever get credit for them for that for their this that they've done already. ty've toook foard and look good. the economy ing

and not just young people, but old people, elderly people. i don't know what you thought this week about the success in europe. and in a swiss court. the swiss grannies basically taking their human rights not to be overheated to court and winning exactly. >> that is sort of the other end of the age spectrum from the kids and montana who want to stare the first constitutional right to a healthful environment other states not trying to try to add that in. there are dozens of cases in american courts where municipalities, states, tribes, or shoeing big oil companies for essentially lying to the public for generations about the harm they, they knew that their product would cause. it is those granny's turning their anxiety into action in a peaceful systematic way. hey, and we'll see if that catches, catches fire anyway, ultimately though christiane, they're up against the richest companies in human history who not only are enjoying the most biggest profits in human history, but are still getting billions and
8:41 am
direct and indirect subsidies. so the social license of our fossil fuel lives very few people pick at gas stations, they go after pipelines, but until the consumption piece of this is sorted out but ultimately the decision makers who could shift their business model to a much more sustainable direction has some, as some in europe have done, you could fit these guys the c-suite or is in a few big buses. so while it's important, i think for our kids and our families to understand each decision has a cost the decision-makers now more than ever, are the ones that are going to move the needle. >> i wonder what you think about the messaging and the storytelling. i remember christiana figueres, who was the wonderful un climate rep. who basically shepherded through the 20 climate treaty back in paris she was always telling us, don't just focus on the doom and gloom you must give people hope. you must tell them about the successes. do you think we do that enough? >> no, i don't. and i and i've
8:42 am
learned this on the job as the first sort of chief climate correspondent of any network we're sort of making that above as we go and it's tempting to to lean on the fear and warning button because there's plenty of reason for that. but we resonate with stories because there's an ark and there's always a hopeful arc. what the, the person who taught me the best tip for covering climate was mr. rogers, who said when he saw something scary on tv, his mother would say, look for the helpers, there's always helpers rushing into the disasters. and so now i get to go meet helpers who are building thermal battery plants or are figuring out ways to use nature-based solutions to pull carbon out of the sea and sky and they are imagining a better world for their kids. and i think the more we share that it's sort of a double-edged coin. you got to hold sort of fear and hope in your head at the same time, bill, we're out correspondent and author of life, as we know, it can be. thank you so much. >> thank you. christiane. >> and coming up next from the archives, when the peacemakers

possible with war raging in gaza, the israeli palestinian conflict may feel more intractable than ever. peace may feel like a really, really distinct possibility, but there was a time when northern ireland felt like that as well. after decades of brutal sectarian conflict and terrorist violence, its leaders and its people bravely chose peace and this week, they celebrated 26 years since the good friday agreement that secured it it remains one of the united states greatest diplomatic triumphs as president bill clinton and senator george mitchell help broker those talks along with british prime minister tony tony blair, and the irish prime minister birdie your hearn. and of course, northern irish leaders themselves, they got the deal over the line. and last year on its 25th anniversary, i traveled to belfast to speak to clinton blair, and ahern a peacemakers reunion. and here's some of
8:49 am
that conversation >> the origin story. so president clinton even in your campaign before the 92 election, you talked about this to irish americans. you said you would put all your abilities behind trying to get peace why, why did it matter so much? >> i always felt when i started talking to irish americans, what i was running for president that we can make a positive difference if we were fair to both sides and i knew that to do that, we'd have to do something that that was then prevailing would think was unfair, which was to get involved because the our whole diplomacy was built around our special relationship with the uk, which included staying away from ireland >> prime minister khan, was it that mostly the alignment of the stars, so to speak, in terms of leadership was it also about the people on the ground
8:50 am
>> yeah. the >> parties have people underground love, i think from our point of view and to have the president united states being genuinely interested and build to give time and to stay up at night. i mean, where we are a small country and you would expect i was just so lucky that tony and i got on so well. >> george mitchell has said, i can't remember the figures, but it was hundreds and hundreds of hours and days of negotiations that finally led to yes. but it may have gone the other way. >> can >> you recount and reflect on how difficult actually mean it sounds like, you know, everybody is ready to do it, but it actually was very difficult to get the good friday agreement i don't think we could have got this off the ground if we hadn't been prepared to talk to everyone. and then the really is this thing about the people being prepared to act in a way that isn't politically conventional. >> so
8:51 am
>> 30 years, the irish taoiseach, i mean, he could have stuck in a fairly traditional irish position on everything, but he didn't and that we each liberated each other. so it became easier for him to intervene constructively when it looked like everyone was being involved there was a seat at the table well, for everyone, the whole point about a peace process. you're never gonna get anywhere unless everyone's prepared to take risks for peace. and you either spend your political capital or you hoarded. and for all sorts of various reasons people decided to spend it. i think for those politicians in northern ireland, who after all, we're the ones that had today take the most difficult decisions. those are the people here. >> i read that david trimble the obviously the unionist leader at the time. his deputy, said that he took this good friday agreement to ramallah, showed it to yasser arafat, who was the head of the palestinian authority and so this is your blueprint for success
8:52 am
>> present, denton right >> now, the people who cheered on the death of the peacemaker, yitzhak rabin are in government there's nowhere to, it seems like there's nowhere to go and what do you think? i mean, when you look at this blue blueprint why do you think it hasn't worked elsewhere, for instance, let's just state the middle east well the differences in a bit, let's start with the middle east. tony spent years working on us, but they started with a different model i mean, when we signed the middle east peace agreement in 93 he also quotes on the south lawn of the white house everyone's assumption was that they had to work for a two-state solution and they would argue for a few years about what to do with the unresolved issues and what to do with a line drawing but that
8:53 am
the israelis wish to remain remain a majority jewish state. but to be at peace with there palestinian neighbors who would have their own state. if we could work out the myriad questions that had to be worked out. so we started with a different model. they started with a model here that they could share the future and that they had not enough land to fight over. and they had to work together so i think the real question is the middle east is now waiting for somebody to answer the now what question? because i i still believe that people everywhere would prefer to work together than be at war >> now, that was one year ago before the full-blown israel-hamas war in gaza. and president clinton's words couldn't be more prescient. his question now what still holds without bold peacemaking
